Eight years ago Jane was diagosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and was in a life threatening condition. Her life was literally saved by treatment at University College Hospital. A while after this, it was found that Jane's sister Annie was a 10/10 stem cell match.. and the rest is history. Jane changed her blood group from O- to O+ and is alive and reasonably well and walking round with Annie's blood cells as her own.

Jane, Annie and friends have entered the London Bridgathon over the past years in appreciative support of the work of the associated Haematology Cancer Care. Over these years, Jane has benefitted directly from this charity, but also seen the considerable difference in makes in supporting all that the haematology staff are about at the hospital.

More about this below..

HCC has a strong community of patients, families and staff who are committed to supporting haematological cancer treatments through fundraising activities and events. Uniquely, we are run by senior clinical staff working closely with all haematology teams and haematology patients ensuring donations make a significant impact on the services here at UCLH. We provide wide-ranging support including high-tech medical equipment and research projects, free complementary therapy for patients and families and specialist education for nurses across five inpatient wards, day-care, ambulatory care and young adult and outpatient services within haematology at UCLH. #loveHCC #HCCfamily #TeamHaem!
